Same here FR-S is my DD, to and from work, 70 miles * 5 days a week. Wife has RAV4 SUV we drive on the weekend. I also have two boys 9 and 11. Three of us fit ok, by just sliding the passenger seat up a little.

DD. I really should've kept my previous car though. The dealer didn't give me a significant amount of money for the trade in.

DD duties alternate between the FRS and my 79 toyota pickup...FRS also gets tagged with autocross pickup gets the rocks and hunting adventures. Wife and girls get the 4runner

Yup. Only car, besides my wife's xD (which I'll drive if the roads are too bad). This winter has been terrible for me - it's really a good thing we moved to a new house in spring that is only a mile away from my work.

DD and hopefully AutoX it this year.

Black86 · 02-01-2014, 02:16 PM

Mine is my daily and I love it. I hate racking up miles but you buy a car to drive it not let it sit. Mine now has 11,000 miles on it and I have had it for about a year so not too bad! I'm considering going turbo and rolling around on pump gas so I can still daily it. Any turbo guys want to chime in on how it is to daily one boosted? I live in ohio weather has been pretty cold but I don't drive too much during the negative degree cold. I plan to stay on 93 pump and 300whp.

DD all through the snow on air ride. Car's so pro.

WhiteToy86 · 02-01-2014, 05:37 PM

DD with track and auto X duties. The kids fit in the back but they are young and we usually roll in the swagger wagon.

Daily driver here. But I only work about a mile and a half from home, so it sees relatively few miles anyway.

Not yet but I plan on it

just not sure how it will respond to the weather we have had. Odds are I'd pick up a new daily if I turbo the frs. It's been -30 here this year in ohio lol it sucks..

It's my DD. 30 miles roundtrip, 3 times a week. I work 3-12 hour shifts
